Loamhedge by Brian Jacques

2.0

This book is very much what I expected from a Brian Jacques. I hadn't read one of his Redwall series books in quite a while, but they are still chocked full of anthropomorphic cuteness and relatively intense violence. The first couple times that he switches from a baby mole getting into mischief to a searat pirate gutting one of his crew can be sort of jarring.

Either way, this was an ok book. I had no trouble getting all the way through it, though it was definitely not as engrossing as I remember the earlier books in this series (Redwall, Mossflower, and Mattimeo in particular) being. This book also featured Jacques propensity for describing food more heavily than I remember, as eating or talking about eating probably took up 60% of the book.

I will have to go back and read the first couple, to see if my memory is accurate, but I guess I would recommend this book to fans of the series, especially younger readers.
